The Origins of Snowboarding

In this episode, Cody has a conversation with Jesse Burtner, a professional snowboarder and creator of Think Thank films. They talk about what it means to be a father — providing your child with the tools they need to succeed and allowing them to follow their own path — what it meant to be a snowboarder in the late 80s and early 90s, snowboarding as a conversation not a competition, and how Jesse went from making a local Alaskan snowboard and skateboard video with Boarderline and JB Deuce (along with Jason Borgstede) to founding his own production that introduced a new style of snowboarding. Jesse also answers a few questions from our Instagram followers.
